As already mentioned, if you only need HF and VHF/UHF is not in the picture, the Icom 7300 is a $2,500 class HF radio that costs less than $1,100 these days. Modifications for the ICOM created 28-03-2002 from the reason to ensure that you have power to the laptop and the car running for the DNX7100. So far I'm really happy every time I use the 7100 and it hasn't done anything to annoy me yet.įinal comment, for a shack in the box type radio with HF plus VHF/UHF I don't think you can beat the 7100 for its price and I think it will outperform some radios costing a bit more. I should also mention I'm not a casual radio user and usually operate higher end contest type radios and easily get annoyed with mediocre performing equipment.

#Icom ic 7100 mods mod
This is the mod concerning diodes D6315, D6316 and D6310. With sales and rebates I ended up paying about $749 which is a bargain. I am looking at the document Icom produced for what they call the expanded frequency mod. Since then, the Icom Mobile HF radios have been the Performance HF mobile radio of choice. I also did some research and even though its not on Rob Sherwoods receiver list it has a very good receiver, not contest quality but better than just about anything in its price class. Icom changed the way hams think about mobile HC communication in 1995 with the introduction of the IC-706. I ran the radio at home for a few months and love it. I bought an Icom 7100 only on the recommendation it was the favorite for use with the RemoteRig boxes which I plan on using with it.
